Forsite Studio

Kitchen Remodeling
Bathroom Remodeling
Flooring
Fireplaces
Forsite completed the design for the renovation of this 2,000 sf mid century residence on Lake Austin. Buttressed by two stone fireplaces, the living space bridges a dry creek draining to the lake below. The house is characterized by horizontal, deep overhangs and a tall central space with clerestory light.
Skylight Repair/Replacement
Enith light floods the master bath through multiple skylights, reflecting off the marble walls and floor.

New Construction
AJ Smith founded Forsite Studio in 2007 as a sustainably-minded design/build company. He received a Bachelor of Fine Arts with a focus on sculpture in 2002 and a Master of Architecture in 2006 from the University of Texas at Austin. In addition to building design and construction, he also has a passion for woodworking; designing many custom furniture pieces and co-founded Wager Sustainable Millworks. He is a certified LEED Accredited Professional and is a licensed contractor with the Texas Residential Construction Commission.

Window Installation/Replacement
Siding
Set in a south Austin neighborhood where peacocks roam the streets, this four bedroom house strives to blur the distinction between indoor and outdoor. The archetype gabled, second story volume, wrapped in board and batten siding, spans between two single story, integral-color stucco cubes. The resultant space of this 28' clear span is a covered veranda, perfect for al fresco dining or taking a respite from the hot Texas sun beside the pool. An office with a separate entrance doubles as a guest suite when required.
Residential Roof Repair
Located on a 60-acre prairie preserve near Taylor, TX, Alligator Creek is a completely off-grid house producing 100% of required power through solar panels and collecting rainwater for all potable water needs. With the building footprint minimized, the remaining site is being reclaimed as natural habitat by eliminating invasive species. Drawing inspiration from Texas vernacular construction and Japanese architecture, the design is reminiscent of a farmhouse with Japanese-style bays. This project contains an 18,000-gallon cistern integrated into the foundation, on-site wastewater management, and SIP (Structural Insulated Panel) roofing. The house is naturally ventilated with operable windows that capture prevailing winds for passive cooling and utilizes wood burning stoves for heating.
Residential Roof Replacement/Installation

Masonry
A series of small living units set on an idyllic five acres of remote Costa Rican rainforest, this modern bed and breakfast blurs the distinction between inside and out. Comfortable year around temperatures allow outdoor dining and living spaces and reduce the enclosed, conditioned areas. The minimal material palette of glass, steel and masonry provide privacy and also unobstructed views to the forest beyond. A plunge pool overlooks the forest beyond.
